SRINAGAR, May 22: With the support of Chief Electoral Office of J&K and District Election Offices of Anantnag and Shopian, theatre group ‘Natrang’ staged five shows of Balwant Thakur’s highly acclaimed play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ under SVEEP to motivate voters for greater participation for a stronger democracy.
The shows were held at Govt. Degree College, Shopian; Govt. Degree College, Zainapora (Shopian); Boys Higher Secondary School, Bijbehara (Anantnag); Govt College For Women, Anantnag and Boys Higher Secondary School, Dooru (Anantnag).
Speaking on the occasion Natrang Director, Balwant Thakur thanked Chief Electoral Officer Pandurang K. Pole and the respective District Development Commissioners of Anantnag and Shopian for the opportunity.
The play ‘Loktantra Ka Asli Mantra’ opens with the aggression of the disillusioned, frustrated youth who are struggling to survive in the contaminated air of corruption, scandals and dishonesty.
Busy in their illusionary world created by the social media, they wanted things to happen but were not ready to be part of that change. Terming them as the most vibrant human resource of the world, an educated person prompts them to come forward, take the command and change their fate by way of changing the fate of a country by voting.
The artists who participated in the play were Neeraj Kant, Subash Jamwal, Mohd. Yaseen, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Vishal Sharma, Palshin Dutta, Mihir Gujral, Priya Kashyup, Aadesh Dhar, Kushal Bhat, Sanket Bhagat, Amit Rana, Arun Sharma, Vandana Thakur and Vansh Pandotra.
